FRANK SAGELL, OF VERONA, PENNSYLVANIA.

CARBURETER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK SvAGELL, a

subject of the King of I-Il'lngary, residing at- Verona,^in the lcountyof Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Carbu-reters, of whichthe following is aspecification, refer'- ence being had therein tothe accompanyingdrawing.

This invention relates to carbureters, and the object of my invention isto provide simple and effective means in connection with a carbureterfor preventinfr foreign and solid matter frofn entering a cylinder of anengine.

My invention aims to provide an attachment that can be easily secured toa carbureter particularly an automobile carbureter,

for preventing foreign matterl from passing into a cylinder of an engineand eventually retarding the movement of the piston therein.

My invention aims to prevent foreign matter from entering the cylinderby providing a carbureter witha screen or sieve detachably mounted inthe carbureter whereby the p same cannot be blown into the cylinder ofthe engine.

, The carbureter attachment will be herein-Y after described in detailand then specifically pointed out in the appended claims, and referencewill now be had to the drawings -formlng part of this ap lication,wherein there is illustrated the pre erred embodiments of the invention,but it is to be understood that thev structural details thereof can bevaried or changed without departing from the spirit or scope'of theinvention. In the drawings, Figure 1n section of a carbureter providewith my attachment, Fig. 2 is asectional side elevation of thesame, Fig.3 is'an enlarged longrtudinal sectional view of the attachment, Fig. 41s anend view of the same, 'Flg 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of amodified forni of attachment, 'if ig. 6 is an end view of the same, andFi 7 is a side elevation ef a still furthermodiiled form of attachment.

In the accompanying drawin s, I have illustrated, that type of automoile carbureter commonly ,'.known as, The Lunkenheimer, said carburetercomprising a valve body 1, having a spring held valve flange 2, a valvelock 3, a regulator 4, inlet connections 5 and 6 and an outlet pipe 7adapted to be Specification of Letters Patent.

connected by a pipe 8 to the cylinder of an engme.v These elements arecommon -to most every carbureter and therefore form no part of myinvention.

My invention resides in providing the outlet pipe 7 with interior screwthreads 9 for an exteriorly threaded sleeve 10', said sleeve having theouter end thereof provided with an extension 11 having a dependingsectorshaped flange 12: Mounted in--the sleeve 1() is a cylindrical wirescreen or sieve 13ha'ving a round closed end 14 adapted to engage theflange 12, said flange preventing the screen or sieve from being blowninto the pipe 8.

A modified form of screen or sieve is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, whereinthe screen or sieve is provided with longitudinal right angularpartitions 15 for preventing the screen or sieve from collapsing.:

A modification of the sieve 10 is shown in Fig. 7, wherein the exteriorthreads thereof are dispensed with, andthe outer end of the sleeve cutat an angle, as at 16, exposing the greater portion of the screen orsieve 13'and thereby providing a greater outlet for gaso- The mesh ofthe screen or sieve is, su'ffine to collect foreign matterV in ficientlyand by detachably mounting the gasolene,

sleeve 10 lin the' outlet pipe 7, the screen or sieve can ber `removedand cleaned. The sleeve 10 is preferably made of metal, while the screenor sieve 13 is made o f ne wire.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, 'is;-

,1. In a carbureter, the combination with the outlet ipe thereof, o'f acylindrical screen having a c osed end, and means surrounding saidscreen and engaging -theclosed end thereof for retaining said screen insaid outlet pipe.

2. In a carbureter, the combination with the outletv pipe thereof, of asleeve threaded in said pipe, the o`uter end of -said sleeve having avprojection provided with a sectorshaped flange, and a cylindricalscreen mounted lin said sleeve and having a closed round end engagingsaid flange.

' In testimony whereof I affix my signature .in the presence of twowitnesses,
